I have been enjoying everyone's comments and predictions. I want to share a new photo from this morning of this seedling's buds:

TTT36:

And I also have a couple of other siblings from the same cross. Here is 1 of the siblings that has also produced a scape with buds.

TTT33:

What has surprised me the most about this cross is the color coming through on the buds. The buds of both seedlings look like the petals will be yellow like Wild One. I am wondering if Galaxy Explosion's pattern will even show up. If not, then I am wondering why? If the pod parent had been Wild One instead of Galaxy Explosion, then I would assume a bee pod, but these 2 seedlings came from a pod of GE. So this cross has me VERY curious!

The other thing to note looking at the buds .... The TTT36 has fatter buds like Wild One. But TTT33 has thinner, longer buds like Galaxy Explosion. Therefore I am speculating that one may resemble the bloom form of WO and the other may resemble the form of GE.

This particular cross has definitely surprised me so far. I can't wait for both seedlings to bloom.

Alilyfan - I have had some of mine change over the period of 3 years, too! I think that is why hybridizers wait 3 years before registering a seedling. Best to see what it becomes after 3 seasons of blooming.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
